http://historicstlukes.org/

We offer private group tours for church groups, senior groups, school groups, women’s groups, organizations, businesses, family reunions, and more! Group tours include a 45 minute guided tour of Virginia’s oldest church. The tour covers 481 years of history starting with the act of supremacy in 1534 in England, to the rise of Anglicanism and the pursuit of religious freedom in the colonies, and our journey as a nation to discover our own identity. The tour ends with a discussion of the current restoration projects in place to preserve and protect this historic shrine for another 481 years.
